Cataracts

A cataract occurs when the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurry vision, glare, difficulty driving at night, and faded colors. Cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens, helping restore vision and improve quality of life.

At Union Health Eye Center, we offer advanced lens implant options designed to meet your unique vision needs and lifestyle goals.

Lens Implant Options

Standard Lens

Basic Monofocal Lens

  • Clear distance vision
  • Proven cataract correction
  • Reading glasses typically needed for near vision

Toric Lens

Astigmatism-Correcting Lens

  • Clear distance vision
  • Corrects astigmatism at the time of surgery
  • Reduces dependence on distance glasses
  • Reading glasses typically still needed

Multifocal Lens

Advanced Multifocal Lens

  • Near, intermediate, and distance vision
  • Reduced dependence on glasses
  • Greater visual freedom for daily activities

Choose the Best Lens for Your Vision 

Your ophthalmologist will discuss available lens options and help determine the best choice based on your vision needs and lifestyle.

 

Dropless Cataract Surgery 

Dropless cataract surgery is an innovative approach that eliminates the need for post-operative eye drops. During surgery, medication is administered directly into or around the eye, where it is slowly released over time to support healing and recovery.

 

Benefits of Dropless Cataract Surgery

  • No daily eye drops
  • No complicated drop schedules
  • No expensive post-operative prescriptions
  • Reduced risk of missed doses
  • Convenient recovery experience

How It Works

Medication placed during surgery gradually releases over time, helping control inflammation and support healing without the need for multiple post-operative eye drops.
